the line, then fell to the ground; unable to move for 30 minutes, he
could
communicate with doctors only by blinking, and was finally
stretchered
off into an ambulance. The next morning he jumped back on the bike
for another 116 mountainous miles, and went on to win the race ...
and he did it all on muesli, pasta, water, and HARD WORK
I'm pretty sure he was given oxygen out of a bottle at the finish of
that mountain stage.
